      The job an asylum seeker gets must have a starting salary in excess of €30k a year. Not many jobs with €30k as a basic.

      They include criteria stating that the job to be taken up must generally pay more than €30,000 per year and that it cannot be filled by an EU citizen, or a person with full migration permission in Ireland.

      Asylum seekers would also be prohibited from working in 70 employment sectors, including catering and childcare.

        A lot of (genuine) asylum seekers come from middle class backgrounds with degrees and what have you in many fields. They are educated and come from a decent social class (before they fled whatever country ) They should be able allowed to work, they worked for it and have the skill. It is not there fault Russian and American bombs were dropped on their town. Picket person should waste their energy protesting outside the Russian or USA embassy instead. As for the non genuine cases , they can stay in direct provision. its more than they deserve. Don’t worry kids, your McDonalds job is safe.

          “and come from a decent social class”

          INteresting.

          So which social classes do we deem to be “decent”? And which ones do we deem to be “indecent”?

          1. postmanpat

            Decent. College level educated or equivalent who worked hard to improve themselves in an existing field or self employed. The type of people who traded short and medium term gratification in place of long term gain and become productive members of society. The type of people whos parents worked their whole lives to get them out of poverty through hard work and sacrifice. Before geo politics and rich white men bombed their countries back to the dark ages. As apposed to all phony doleys., gangsters , low IQ, religious looneys & chancers they are forced to live with in direct provision. You know, the same phony doleys., gangsters , low IQ, religious looneys & chancers that where born in Ireland and we have to live with in the rest of the country.

          ..’more than they deserve’ – is this similar to virtue signalling – outrage signalling, maybe? The Geneva Convention being taken for a ride by hordes of foreign scumbags – have they no shame.

      Clearly you’re intimately acquainted with that person’s case and are in a position to judge.

      Unless they get asylum or protected status in the end. Plenty of successful applicants only after appeals – you’ve no idea if their case is genuine or not – that’s what the process is there to establish.

      1. cian

        A number of high profile asylum seekers have change their tune from “I’m an asylum seeker” (when this is rejected they appeals; rinse and repeat) to, years later, “It’s not fair that you send me back after 8 year”.

        Just because they are allowed stay after many years (and many appeals) doesn’t mean that they were genuine in the first case.

        1. Nigel

          ‘Genuine’ seems like a misnomer. Being rejected doesn’t make you ‘fake’ or ‘false’ it just means you didn’t meet the criteria, no more than failing in and other form of official application for anything would make you ‘fake’ or false.’ Not saying you take this view, cian, just noting that we have a lousy framing of this issue.

          2. Nigel

            This is what someone who doesn’t understand postmodernism, language, or extremely basic concepts around framing and semiotics, but thinks he does, sounds like. I doubt he even knows what onomatopoeia sounds like.

          3. cian

            Nigel, I see what you are saying, and I’d agree that there may be some people refused who are ‘genuine’ asylum seekers.

            But there are a lot of economic migrants that are masquerading as asylum seekers.

            There were 414 Albanians and 438 Syrians in DP in December. Which country is more likely to produce ‘genuine’ refugees?

          4. Nigel

            Well that’s for the process to decide, and that’s why the process needs to be streamlined and sped up. No doubt country of origin can be a strong indicator of the likelihood of them meeting the criteria, though, fair enough.
